        <p itemprop="description">Villa champa is a high quality villa away from the hustle and bustle of Bali. The facilities are first class and the managers and staff could not do enough to make this a memorable stay. We travelled with a 5 months old baby and the facilities were perfect with staff lending a hand at every opportunity. We were even able to relax and eat our breakfast as Charlie was whisked away for proper Balinese pampering every morning!!! Food of all varieties was cooked and this was to perfection and always with a big, friendly smile. The accommodation was luxurious but still comfortable and the large family felt at home immediately. The pool was perfect size for lengths and we spent most days in and out and of course taking regular refreshment!!!. Villa champa supplied a driver and anto was a first rate driver and definitely the safest in bali. The team on a whole were great and thanks for your efforts looking after us all.  We will see you all again next year.</p>

        <p itemprop="description">Although well hidden away, the setting is beautiful and the villa perfectly appointed. The staff are so friendly and nothing is too much trouble. The remote location makes no difference with the driver and transport provided to take you anywhere you want. Had a wonderful family holiday, which included a wedding, and couldn't have wanted anything more.</p>

        <p itemprop="description">We're a family of four with two kids of 7 and 9 staying in August 2016. We were really impressed by the high quality fixtures and furnishings in Villa Champa, but more than that, we were delighted by how clean everything was. We did not want for anything, comfort cooling in all the bedrooms including the master bathroom, sockets everywhere, so much storage space, really comfortable beds and furniture. The 3 TVs have a mass of satellite channels to choose from and I could plug my ipod into the music system.
You can see the sea from the balcony and it is a drive to the coast, but this villa is superbly centrally located for access to all of South Kuta. The main road nearby is busy with motorbikes and traffic and we would not recommend walking out of the villa, but Anto, the driver is fantastic. He happily took us all over the place night and day (there is a small overtime surcharge). Anto was so friendly and accommodating, waiting for us to do our thing, no timetable necessary. He also introduced us to local restaurant GaRaSi, which we absolutely loved and wish we had returned rather than make the trip to Rock Bar or El Kabron, which were loud and overpriced.
The rest of the staff were also superb. Breakfast was ready for us as we emerged every morning with a friendly greeting. We also took advantage of the in house dining and babysitting, which were also faultless.
There is a plot of land that is farmed nearby, so you will hear the occasional cow bell and roosters in the morning are a fact of life in Bali, though it didn't bother us. Mosquitoes are also a fact of life, but the owners have gone out of their way to put repellent measures all over the house. It was not a problem.
Drinks and snacks were available at very reasonable rates and were kept well stocked. Laundry was collected and returned within 24 hours, again at really reasonable rates.
Truly, we had such a fine stay at this peaceful haven that we were sad to leave. We have stayed at other locations around Bali that can not compare.</p>

            <span>Hi Richard

It’s great of you to take the time to write such a lovely review and we really appreciate all the positive comments you have made about Villa Champa. 

Thank you for the praise you give our service and the villa itself – it’s great to have such kind words directed at Villa Champa's attention to detail. Anto and the staff will be happy to know that you found the location and facilities at Villa Champa to be so comfortable and easy – I’ll be sure to let them know that their service was well received!

We are very sorry for any mosquito annoyances; the open plan nature of the villa means it is fairly impossible to prevent the odd irritant and we do suggest applying a mild repellent cream and longer sleeves if they become active in the evenings.

It's great to read through your review and we are delighted that all went well for your stay. It would be our pleasure to have you return to Villa Champa or any of our villas in the future. Our best regards to you.</span>

        <p itemprop="description">Privileged to have been able to enjoy this home for the six nights we were there.  Very comfortable, surprisingly quiet and lovely breezes enjoyed from the hillside location for the duration of our stay.  Staff were very accommodating but kept their distance and the additional cost of services such as additional meals (breakfast was included in the price) and laundry were extremely reasonable.  The car and driver (also included) were a blessing and a must given the quite - but not remote - location.  Probably spent too much time in the car that would have been better spent with our two young daughters by the lovely pool!</p>

        <p itemprop="description">Our group of 4 adults and 5 small kids had a very good stay at the house. The house is as beautiful as the pictures show it. 
Overall we really enjoyed the service : the cooking team is really nice, Anto the driver is perfect. He only brings you where you want to go, never tries to sell you anything unlike most of the drivers we met in Bali during our other trips.
i just found the house manager a bit strict about a misunderstanding on the first day and again when we broke one ikea glass that we had to pay 5 dollars, I found that a bit narrow minded considering the total money we spent with them during our stay.
The breakfast is really nice with a lot of choice of fresh food that they cook when you wake up.
Concerning the house in itself just be aware that it is an open concept, the insects become then part of your life especially at dinner time ;o). But I have to say that we liked this natural way of living. And all the bedrooms can close so you can avoid mosquitoes at night. 
The rooms are all very clean. 
There are some toys for the kids and the house is very well laid out for them, there is a fence all around the pool for example.
2 things missing : an expresso machine and mosquito nets in the rooms.</p>

            <span>Dear Marie

Thank you very much for finding the time to write a review, we really do appreciate it.  We do work hard to ensure that we meet and exceed our guest’s expectations and feedback such as yours is really helpful in us doing this.

Firstly I would like to really apologise on the confusion when you first arrived at the villa.  Our villa manager has not worked with us for very long and her actions were the result some confusion on her part in missing details we had forwarded to her. As you know we sorted out the issue early morning the next day, and we have also spoken to the villa manager, and clarified to her again our procedures for extra guests, and are certain that such confusion will not happen again.

On paying for a replacement when your group broke a glass, actually replacing of glasses is much more costly than the five dollars that you were charged as almost always it is not possible to replace like with like, requiring us to purchase another set of 6 glasses to ensure that we continue to have enough for guests.  

We do make it clear upfront in our rental agreement that we not charge a damage deposit, but that we do expect guests to pay fair replacement value for any breakages or damage, and so we do feel that under the circumstances asking you to pay a nominal amount for the glass you broke is reasonable.

On the two missing things you mention, the espresso machine is something we are looking at, and indeed we already have one at two of our other villas, so thank you for the suggestion.  

On mosquito nets, the bedrooms are fully enclosed and with air-conditioning, and most of the year the dry conditions of the Bukit area (where there is no natural running or standing water) mean mosquitos are not actually that frequent. Given this at the moment we do not feel mosquito nets are required at Villa Champa (although we do have them on the extra bed in the open upstairs lounge). We will though continue to monitor this with other guests.

Thank you again for your stay with us, and your kind words about Villa Champa and we do hope to welcome you again in the future to one of our villas.</span>

        <p itemprop="description">We stayed at the Villa Champa for 4 nights. The villa is beautiful and big enough the for us 5. The team working at the Villa was the sweetest and so helpful with everything. They prepared some toys for our 4 year old daughter and were very kind with her and us. The house was very clean and the breakfast provided was good and always served with a smile! The fact that the villa offers a driver is a big bonus as the location is the one down side for me. It was quite far from some main streets with restaurants and bars but the driver took us around during the whole stay, and yet again, always with a smile! I would highly recommend the villa for its beauty and quietness (apart from the roosters in the morning :-) - but it has its charm!)</p>
